This page, which is coming along slowly, will feature wild plants that  may or may not be easy to cultivate, but are easier for me to gather in the wild. Eventually I will add photos. Jewelweed - Found in many places, especially where poison ivy grows and close to water. Joe Pye Weed - Along the road where the highway departments haven't blitzed them out of existance. I tossed 100s of seeds into my yard, but they have not come up. Either 3 feet of snow killed them or they need 2 years to germinate. Milkweed - Pods very tasty when young.  I won't eat the fresh shoots in the spring.  Too easy to mistake the plant for dogbane. Or is it henbane?  Something that is poisonous. Mulberry - A tree that can be a royal pain in the butt.  Reputed to have magical properties. I've never investigated this aspect, but the berries do make good pie and wine. Pawpaw - A much neglected native fruit. It's actually not hard to cultivate; just toss some seeds in the yard in the Eastern US.  But the harvest is not immediate. Staghorn Sumac - Also found in "waste" areas near roads.
